Saxe-Coberg-Gotha, the Queens real surname.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
Sadly the Human Rights Act got rid of that.
Not for "Arson in her Majesty's ship yards" and "Piracy on the high sees."
Actually the Queen's real surname is Mountbatton, but she got all new-agey on Philip.
Regardless they're all Germans.

Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
I honestly thought they got rid of all capital punishment.
Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
realy? but they wouldn't execute anyone suuuurely?
Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
I'd be shocked if they did, even if somebody started a fire in a dockyard/indulged in piracy were the old laws still in place. However, I don't think they are even technically allowed to consider it anymore.
Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
Taffy is right and goes to the head of the class. Capital punishment for trason and piracy with violence, the last two capital offences, was abolished in 1998 under the Crime and Disorder Act.
In 1999 the UK signed sixth protocol of the European Convention of Human Rights which formally abrogates any right the state might have claimed to reintroduce any capital punishment.

Battenburg, Philip's name was Battenburg but was changed to Mountbatten.
It was not theirs to reason why,

If it is, then I stand corrected.

Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
Louis Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven changed the family surname from Battenberg to Mountbatten in 1917 to distance himself from the enemy. Obviously this was before Philip was born, but his family surname was Battenberg.Battenburg, Philip's name was Battenburg but was changed to Mountbatten.

We all learn from experience. Unfortunately we don't all learn as much as we should.
Re: The Glorious Revolution is ended by the Police
I like battenburg, especially the marzipan. With a cup of tea of course.
